Deep in the military camp, Su Qian'er and Li Fuyao were talking in the room. Xiaojiu stood aside obediently, handing them some paper account books and so on from time to time.

"Sister Fuyao, you went to the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Affairs the day before yesterday, but how could you not show any sign of concern for our Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development at Nanhaiwei!"

"I didn't say!"

Li Fu said without raising his head: "The major yamen of the Ministry of Revenue, Ministry of War, Ministry of Industry, and the Six Ministries are all in a mess now, especially the Ministry of Revenue. Anyone who goes there is asking for money or food. Others

It is said that not a single commander from our Nanhai Guard Company went there, even the generals and generals were not uncommon there. I went, but I couldn’t see anyone in charge!”

"What about our people? You can't say that we were there when we were transferred. Now that it's time to give us money and food, just ignore us!"

Su Qian'er put down the account book in her hand: "Except for these dozens of housekeepers in Nanhaiwei, all the other people have been transferred away. These hundreds of farmers are here. If there is no more money and food supplies, what will happen next time?"

Months, I’m afraid everyone will drink the northwest wind!”

"What are you afraid of!" Li Fuyao glanced at him and smiled calmly: "Anyway, people will not die from hunger. This is Nanhaizi, but it used to be the royal hunting ground. Wait until next month, everything flying in the sky will be in the water.

People who are swimming and running on the ground have come out, are you worried that there is nothing to eat?"

"Even so!" Su Qian'er frowned: "During the defense of the city, our people suffered a lot of casualties. The compensation must come from the Wei. Where does the money come from?"

"Wait a minute!" Li Fuyao sighed deeply: "The war is still going on, but I'm not in a hurry for the money. If it doesn't work out, I'll go to the palace to see Eunuch Xu. After all, our guard's affairs are in the palace.

I can only ask him for help!"

There was not much expectation on her face: "However, according to my previous experience in the palace, unless our commander and most of the troops in the guard are here, the few people we have left behind, plus my

There is not much hope of directly allocating food and salary to us from the palace. At present, reinforcements from all walks of life are arriving in Beijing, and money is flowing like water. Compared with others, the palace is definitely more willing to spend these food and salary to deal with the situation.

More useful soldiers and horses!"

"We don't need much money!" Su Qian'er said with a sad look on her face: "With three to five thousand taels, at least we can support you for a long time!"

"Wait a minute, let's just endure it and survive. I'll think of other things later!"

Li Fuyao rubbed his temples, a look of exhaustion appeared in his eyebrows. Xiao Jiu on the side handed her a cup of hot tea in an extremely obedient manner. Li Fuyao took a sip and let out a long breath.

"Miss, it would be great if we adults were at home. We adults can solve everything easily!"

As if he heard Xiaojiu's words, a burst of shouting suddenly sounded outside, slowly becoming clearer from far to near.

"The commander is back, the commander is back!"

Li Fuyao thought it was his auditory hallucination and glanced at Su Qian'er involuntarily. He saw that Su Qian'er was also tilting her head and was listening intently to the sounds outside.

She stood up suddenly, walked to the window, and opened it.

I saw two figures running towards the barracks in the distance, and in the barracks, many people had heard the sound and rushed out, looking in the direction where the two came.

She ran out the door in a hurry. Su Qian'er behind her also dropped the pen and paper in her hands, and Xiao Jiu followed behind her.

"Miss Li, the commander is back!"

The two soldiers ran up to Li Fuyao panting, then pointed their fingers behind them, their faces full of joy.

There was no need for the two soldiers to say more. In the distance, a group of figures had appeared in everyone's field of vision. In less than a moment, the faces of these figures on horseback were clearly visible.

The person who took the lead was none other than Jiang Wan, who always had a hateful smile on his face.

"See the Commander!"

At the door of the barracks, dozens of soldiers who stayed behind stood in awe with fists clasped.

Jiang Wan jumped off the horse. It seemed that these soldiers were looking at each other and clasping their fists towards these soldiers with uncontrollable excitement in their eyes: "Good job, brothers!"

"Commander makes it hard for you, sir!"

The guards also dismounted one after another and walked towards the soldiers. In a blink of an eye, they were hugging each other and greeting each other, and the camp was full of lively and peaceful atmosphere.

"See my lord!"

The three girls bowed and Jiang Wan walked up to them and looked at Li Fuyao, Su Qian'er, and Xiao Jiu.

"Okay, okay, everything is fine! Thank you for your hard work while I was away!"

"Your Excellency, we have been born and died in Shaanxi, how hard it is for us!" Li Fuyao's eyes were a little red, and his nose was slightly sore, "We are just doing our best to fulfill your instructions!"

"You have all lost a lot of weight!" Jiang Wan looked at them, and then her eyes fell on Xiao Jiu: "Not counting your double chin, how much did you eat?"

Xiaojiu was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but shrink his neck and pursed his lips.

The originally sentimental scene of reunion after a long absence suddenly became a little warm because of Jiang Wan's words. Li Fuyao turned to look at Xiaojiu and couldn't help but smile.

"I haven't even gone to make a pot of tea for you, sir. I'm just standing there stupidly. Sir, let's go in and talk!"

Jiang Wan nodded and followed them in.

"Why are there so few people in the camp? Where are the others? The people from Zhouzhuang must have withdrawn here too. I didn't see anyone else during my journey!"

"The farmers are in the back. After all, this is a military camp. The farmers, old, young, women and children, are placed in the back. If something happens, they can get away faster!"

Li Fuyao explained as he walked: "It turned out that there were still more than 500 people in the camp, but the war was tense. Mr. Sun reorganized the Beijing army and gathered troops. Most of our Nanhai Guards were also transferred away, leaving only a few to guard the barracks.

manpower!

Jiang Wan nodded. If this was the case, it would be understandable. From the ruins of Zhouzhuang outside the city, we could see how critical the situation was that day. All available troops in the capital were deployed to prepare to fight the Tatars at any time. The Nanhai Guards

Naturally, it is also obligatory.

"Didn't your Excellency spend the New Year in Yan'an Mansion? Why did you come back all of a sudden!" Li Fuyao waited for Jiang Wan to sit down and said, "Did our soldiers and horses come back to the capital under orders?"

"That's not true!" Jiang Wan shook his head: "The soldiers and horses in the guard are still in Yan'an Mansion. I came back this time because of your majesty's urgent summons. I just arrived in the capital today, and I went to Zhouzhuang first. I saw that everyone there was already there.

It was ruined, so I came here directly!"
